FRIED CHICKEN & FRIENDS

FRIED
CHICKEN & FRIENDS

Gregory
Llewelyn + Naomi Hart

SOUTHERN-STYLE, DOWN-HOME COOKING DONE
TO PERFECTION.

IF YOU’RE GOING TO FRY CHICKEN, JUST
MAKE SURE IT’S HARTSYARD-STYLE.

An American
chef meets an Australian performer and together, Fried Chicken & Friends
is born! It’s a food phenomenon created by Gregory Llewellyn and Naomi Hart,
the owners of the restaurant, Hartsyard. Gregory – who names Alain Ducasse,
Andrew Carmellini and Daniel Boulud as mentors – met Naomi in New York City
while she was pursuing a career in musical theatre. They packed up and
arrived in Australia to create an ‘inner city homestead made for comfort and
conversation’.

Hartsyard is
not only their dream restaurant, it’s one of Australia’s hottest food venues
today.Their first
book, Fried Chicken and Friends: The Hartsyard Family Cookbook is the
ultimate collection of one hundred American-inspired recipes, including BBQ
pit beans, oyster po’ boys, mac n’ cheese, sweet potato pie, crab louie (the
tastiest cobb salad around), aperol sours and ice-cream stuffed doughnuts to
name just a few. And of course the ultimate

Golden Brown Delicious fried
chicken.

As Gregory
and Naomi say; ‘Fried chicken is not just a dish for special events. Fried
chicken makes a special event — that’s the point. It’s humble and
egalitarian: everyone is equal when you’re eating with your fingers. No pomp
and circumstance.’

So pull up a
chair with the Hartsyard team and get stuck into these high-octane flavours.

It’s a party on a plate and everyone’s invited.
